Missed the methylphenidate killing your appetite, where you’re hungry but the act of chewing makes you feel repulsed.

Not me actually choking because the idea of swallowing this delicious slop repulses me

Does it ever go away? I keep stopping my meds but when I start back it’s hell again for a while

I think i just developed my eating habits around it. I eat before i take it and eat after i wears off. Dont really have an appetite while it affects me so its never been a problem.

Finding a medication that effects your appetite the least also helps. Vyvanse doesnt give me food repulsion nearly to the extent that adderall did. I can even get through a whole sandiwich if i need it.

I do think that to an extent i have also gotten used to it. It isnt nearly as gag inducing as it was when i was a kid but i was on different meds then so idk
